For many patients, Medicare Open Enrollment is the only time of year to make changes to their Medicare plans. This makes it crucial for pharmacists to offer their help and guidance to patients. To achieve this, there are some universal actions pharmacists are encouraged to take, including offering plan comparisons, increased patient communications, and spreading the word in the community. But the best ways to execute on these may differ by pharmacy. After all, what works in one community may not always be a sure bet in another.
